There’s a quiet revolution underway, and it didn’t start in Silicon Valley; it started in Nigeria.
As tech companies in Canada, the UK, and the US scramble to fill critical roles in data, cybersecurity, and business analytics, 10Alytics, a Nigerian-founded and Canada-based EdTech startup, is preparing the next wave of global tech talents. Not only from Lagos, but from Accra, Johannesburg, Nairobi, and immigrant communities across North America and Europe.
This is not just another online course platform. 10Alytics is building bridges for Africans, immigrants and members of the Black community who have historically been underrepresented in tech spaces. And their operations are guided by a simple yet powerful formula: train, empower, connect.
With over five years in the industry, 10Alytics has quietly grown into a global launchpad for career-changers and aspiring professionals, particularly those with no prior tech background. Rooted in the belief that talent is everywhere even when opportunity is not, the company is building a pipeline of job-ready, globally competitive professionals who are now landing roles in major firms across the UK, US, and Canada.
Some do it remotely from the comfort of their homes in Africa. Others make the leap as immigrants in search of stability, growth, and belonging in new tech ecosystems. And for all of them, 10Alytics isn’t just a school, it’s a stepping stone to a new life.
This year alone, 10Alytics awarded over 650 scholarships, to aspiring tech professionals across Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, and the diaspora, prioritizing women and underrepresented groups. These aren’t handouts. They’re bold investments in the future of work. To date, 88% of 10Alytics alumni have gone on to secure roles within the global technology industry.
The startup’s impact hasn’t gone unnoticed. It was recently accepted into Canada’s Alberta Catalyzer Velocity program in 2024, a prestigious accelerator that backs high-growth startups building for global impact. It’s a strong nod to the company’s vision, and a clear sign that African innovation belongs on the global stage.
What truly sets 10Alytics apart is its strong sense of community. Its students don’t just learn they plug into a network of mentors, peers, and hiring partners across continents. From portfolio development to career coaching, the support system is intentional and consistent.
Then there are the bi-annual global hackathons, impact-driven marathons that bring together tech talent from 20+ countries to solve real-world problems. It’s one thing to train talent. It’s another to prove what they can build under pressure, and 10Alytics does both.
The stories speak for themselves. A stay-at-home mum in Canada becomes a data analyst. A Nigerian immigrant in Toronto lands his first cybersecurity role. A Ghanaian banker transitions to product strategy. All trained, supported, and connected by a company that believes where you start should never determine how far you can go.
As companies across the West continue their hiring spree, 10Alytics is making it clear: the tech talent they’ve been searching for is right here. African. Immigrants. Black. Skilled. And finally, visible. Because the future of tech isn’t just global. It’s bold, inclusive and thanks to 10Alytics, it’s already in motion.
